A Toner Wash Drawing simulates lithographic tusche washes. Almost any photocopy machine has spent toner that is thrown away. Toner is most hazardous when it is in powder form, so wear a dust mask when mixing dry toner.

To further stimulate toner reticulation add a small amount of dish soap or water or both.

Paint this Toner-Wash onto single sided (frosted) Drafting Mylar. If Toner-Wash is too thick add water. if it is not black enough add more toner. For more random textures spritz the wet Toner-Wash with window cleaner, water, alcohol, or soapy water.

Once the Toner-Wash drawing is dry you can also scratch into the toner to make fine lines. Now it is ready to use as a positive for the IntaghoType.

Exposure times will vary depending on your exposure unit.

An Aquatint Screen should be used in conjunction with exposing the Wash- Drawing Intagho-Type to the ImagOn plate
